Both of these sites were previously owned. But neither show any links at ATW and the archive of both shows a re-drect to an affiliate link for one and a one page site for the other.
I added new pages within the last month to other sites and these new pages all picked up PR in this last PR update.
Do new sites take longer? Should I be concerned?
No, don't be worried. I put up a new site for a local organisation three months ago, and only the home page has made it into the index so far.
These things take time, but once Google starts to add the other pages, the distribution of PageRank around your site will elevate one or more pages above the others, and this will get them indexed more frequently - it just needs time to build up this initial momentum first.

Should I email both URLS in the same request?
These domains have not been owned for quite some time? Does it matter?
I don't think it's an expired domain problem. This would basically mean that old backlinks are thrown away, but new ones are counted. But in this case even the new links are taking too much time.
If several pages of the one site are indexed it should be allright, though. Check the SERPs for your keywords.
When I click the "contain the term" link, one more page is returned in results like so:
www.mysite.com/page.htm - 6k - Supplemental Result - Cached - Similar pages
What is this "Supplemental Result"?
The other site is not reutrned in results but when I click the "contain the term" link, the IP of the index page is returned in results.
What is going on?!?!?
The IP-only page is a strange one - do you have links pointing to your IP and not your domain name?
Supplemental Resulthttp://www.google.com/help/interpret.html
Google augments results for difficult queries by searching a supplemental collection of web pages. Results from this index are marked in green as "Supplemental."

Any theories?
I clicked on the "contain the term" link. This would cause "Google to augment results for difficult queries by searching a supplemental collection of web pages."?
It seems so - in this case. The term must be one that is not otherwise found in body text. In other cases the "contain the term" would be body text.
Afaik, the supplemental collection is searched only when no other methods provide sufficient results - i have gotten results from it a few times, and they are usually just the ones i'm looking for, but you can't really force the results to be from the SupCol if other pages (not form SupCol) are found.
I'm not entirely sure that all pages in that collection will make it to the live index sometime. Afaik, these supplemental pages can be anything, probably including pages that the SE would prefer not to have in it's index in the first place. Probably also including perfectly innocent pages that just haven't been indexed properly for some odd reason.
As for the IP: I often see pr0n sites using IPs in stead of domain names. That was the reason for my question - if it's an old pr0n IP, then some links may still be around, even though you can't see them - the "link:" command in both ATW and Google does not necessarily show everything, and in that particular field no other commands seem to return everything either.
